Data

I have been using Dynamic writers to create feature classes and tables in an Esri File Geodatabase for years. I normally use the FME field type “fme_int32” to create Long Integer field types. However, I need to create attributes using Esri’s new ‘Big Integer’ field type. I assumed I could use “fme_int64” but when I run my workspace in FME 2024.0, it runs without errors but it doesn’t create the new feature class. When I change the 2 fields from fme_int64 back to fme_int32, it runs without errors and creates the new feature class. I have ArcPro 3.2.2 installed which also supports the new Big Integer (64 Bit) field types. My question is: Should I be using a different FME Field type besides ‘fme_int64’ to generate Big Integer field types via a Dynamic FGDB Feature Class Writer? Thanks in advance.

Hi,I have an FME workbench that outputs a KMZ but i want to create a folder tree style for ease of view. Currently it outputs as below: I have been unsuccessfully trying to create a tree which will output something like this:Proper name instead of doc (folder) → operating_voltage (folder) → feeder_name (folder) → actual feeder spatial data . Screenshot of workbench below: The operating_voltage and the feeder_name coming from the attribute_renamers at the right end of the workbench. I tried using the instructions in below link, but it is not exactly the same as the attributes are in the data already and not being created for the purpose of the multi folder.

Hi, I have a table (that started life as a JSON table, lists exposed etc) containing multiple attribute fields and rows. One of the fields contains CLOB data, like this: <cmAstLocSpId>148606829</cmAstLocSpId><criticalityDetails><criticalityReasons><criticalityReasonsList><criticalityReason>CMEH</criticalityReason></criticalityReasonsList></criticalityReasons></criticalityDetails><cmOsgridref>NZ30272359</cmOsgridref><cmOsnorthing>523598</cmOsnorthing><cmOseasting>430279</cmOseasting><cmRegion>TEESSIDE</cmRegion><cmRepairRegion>TEESSIDE</cmRepairRegion><cmDnoArea>NP (NE)</cmDnoArea><cmCreatedByUser>DAVID</cmCreatedByUser><cmCreationDate>2023-11-23</cmCreationDate> I want to turn the normal text into column / field headings, and those highlighted in bold into values in the relevant column. eg the first column will be “cmAstLocSpld” and the value will be “148606829”. The next column will be “criticalityDetails” but in this case has no value, but I still need to create a column. I’ve added

See 12 day old post. I appreciate the gamification of the user base but it is not a game when I have a critical, work FMW that that isn’t working. There has got to be something better than this support. Am I not entitled to some level of solution based, tech support for the software fees paid?

I'm trying to write AGOL features and attachments coming from a feature service tied to a Survey123 survey into a SQL Server geodatabase. I've looked through most of the tutorials and questions about this, but in my use case I need to maintain Global ID's on both the features and the attachments. The feature GlobalID's are being used to name photos that get stored in S3, so I can't use the examples that use a counter to create a new relational ID. I have set the "Maintain Global ID's" parameter on the AGOL reader and have exposed the AGOL attachment attributes. The attachments have a Global ID and Parent Global ID, and I figured it would be simple enough to use both of those to create the relationship class in the GDB since that's what the AGOL service is doing. When I query the service, I can see a feature's Global ID and the attachment's Global ID and its Parent Global ID (the GID of the feature it's attached to).

So I’ve been trying to overwrite a coordinate system in FME, usually I work with EPSG codes. In FME most (if not all ) projections has an EPSG associated with them. When searching for a coordinate system you can just throw in the EPSG code. It’s great. I discovered that one of FME’s coordinate systems (EPSG:3004) by default uses a pretty poor translation to WGS84. I wanted to update the definition so the EPSG code would work better. I defined a new coordinate system in the hopes that when picking the EPSG code it would take my user defined system over the FME one. I found that the only way I could get the EPSG number to link to my new definition was if I actually gave it the same name as the one in FME Any other name and using the EPSG would always revert back to the old unprecise definition. In this case “MonteMario_1.Italy-2”. Of course now I get what looks to be duplicates in the list. Interestingly, no matter which you pick you always end up with the same coordinate system getting

Hi, How can I stop the translation if one Tester in my workspace pass 0 features in the ‘Passed’ port? Thank´s

Can fme only run up to citygml 2.0?I don't know the part about uploading citygml 3.0.

I have FME v2024 with a Floating License. I have Windows 10 Enterprise installed. I am almost out of space on my disk where my "Temp" folder is located. The persistent problem I have with FME is that every time I try to open an XML file, although I do have the reader for it, I consistently get the same 6 errors. I have tried opening other files and there is no problem with those, only with XML files.

I’m running FME Form 2023 and creating a new script with a reader wich fails when looking up tables. Message given: Failed to retrieve feature types Could not open the enterprise geodatabase because the local version of arcgis is not compatible with the server's SDE version. On the laptop I have both Arcmap 10.7 and ArcGIS PRO 3.1 (AGP) installed. When creating the reader I use a connection file created in AGP. I also have FME 2018 but this is 2023. The reader is defined as “Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) / Embed Connection Parameters” as the geometry format in the database is ST_GEOMETRY. To me it looks like files from ArcGIS 10.7 is found and used which doesn’t work. Is there any way to force FME 2023 to use “library files” from AGP 3.1 or is there another way to solve the problem?

I am joining a data table with polygons, via a FeatureJoiner using a common value between the two datasets, both data sources come from a sql database. I am outputting a spatial table (the polygons, joined with the data) to another database. I am encountering a strange issue when I try to open this data with ArcGIS Pro, I have never come across this before - The ESRI_OID does not exist. I was not aware this was required previously either. This is causing various issues with viewing the data and publishing it, or joining it within ArcPro. I am getting this error on the esri GIS server when I try to view the polygons/or view the table. here is what the output data rows look like: It is a very simple dataset with geometry. I’ve never had to make esri_oids before in any of my workbenches, does anyone have any insight to what might be going wrong?

I know that citygml has versions from 1.0 to 3.0. However, it seems that changing ifc to fme is only possible with citygml 2.0. Maybe I don't know how? Or is fme only converted to 2.0 by converting ifc to citygml? version 미국식 [│vɜːrʒn] 영국식 [│vɜːʃn; │vɜːʒn] 1. (이전의 것·비슷한 종류의 다른 것들과 약간 다른) -판[형태] (→beta version) 2.

The .ecw file created through FME, QGIS cannot identify its CRS correctly. I tried with both ecw v2 and v3. This can be fixed through ECW header edit. It might be a bug when trying to write GDA2020 datum to ecw file.

Hello community, I've updated an ArcGIS Online Feature Service using FME, but unfortunately, I seem to have lost my data. The table still exists, but the data is missing. The feature service I want to restore was already added as both a feature service reader and writer. Does anybody have an idea how I can restore my data? The 'Enable Feature Cache' option was already checked. FYI: we only have Arcgis online, we dont have Arcgis Entreprise and portal

What would be the best way (aside from opening the file in a GIS software) to find out if the vertices in a shapefile has a Z and/or an M?

Hi - I’m attempting to identify the schema of 33 shapefiles. The goal is to transform all the shapefiles from one schema to a standardized schema in a single workflow. My thought is to first identify all the attributes of the raw data then create a look-up table. To do this, I started by running a query on my source folder using the PATH reader to identify all the shapefiles in the folder. Next, I was going to use the FeatureReader transformer with the Format set to ESRI Shapefile using the file path attribute (path_windows) from the PATH reader as the dataset to read. I was then going to use the ListExploder to expose the attributes from the <Schema> output port. However, the schema output port is skipping 4 of the shapefiles. The schema output port = 29 ; initiator output port = 33. I’m not sure why it’s doing this. The file path is different for all the shapefiles. Any help to get all 33 shapefiles to go through the <Schema> output would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Hi, when opening fbx in FME, I see a property with a description of the material in the geometry parts (pay attention to the line highlighted with a marker) FME has a python interpreter, with its own classes and functions.I have already pulled out the coordinates of the points, in the code below import fmeimport fmeobjects FeatureProcessor class (object): def __init__(self): passes entering def (self, feature): all_geom = function.getGeometry() first_part = all_geom.getPartAt(0) if type(first_part) == fmeobjects.FMEMesh:meshs = first_part.getAsMultiSurface() vertices_list = first_part.getVertices()textur_coord_list = first_part.getTextureCoordinates()textur_length = len(textur_coord_list) if textur_length > 0: for trian_mesh in first_part: ver_index = trian_mesh.getVertexIndices()textur_index = trian_mesh.getVertexNormalIndices() newFeature = fmeobjects.FMEFeature() pnt1 = vertices_list[ver_index[0]]pnt1_t = textur_coord_list [textur_index [0]] newFeature.setAttribute('X1',pnt1[0])newF

Hi, I was wondering if you could please help me convert data in NAD83 with vertical from HT2_0 to CGVD 1928 adjustment. I am using the CSMapReprojector transformer in FME Form 2023.2.1.0 (20240104 - Build 23774 - WIN64) but apparently FME is looking for a geoid height grid (*.gdc) file. Please advise. Greatly appreciated. Thank you! Willy Wilfredo de Vera

Hi, I am writing spatial plans in PostGIS just fine, but when I read them back through PostGIS Reader, the appearance seems to disappear, and its this generic gray color. Can someone help me preserve the geometry appearance as well? Writing geometry: Reading geometry:

I have a text field (attribute) in a table that is 2048 characters in length. I want to change it to 50. What Transformer do I use in FME to achieve this? I am using FME Form 2021.

I have spatial (ESRI FGDB data) that I want to make into a non-spatial table. Regardless of what I try (e.g. deleting the ‘Shape’ field) the data is still spatial.

I have one shapefilter consisting of agricultural land and some gps points in csv. how can I filter these gps points which fall in the agricultural land? I have already tried Spatial Filter but it doesn´t work all the time it fails. Would be really nice if anyone could help me with this problem. :)

Hi, Is there any way to prevent FME Desktop from converting dates to its internal format? For example, if you get '2024-05-30' I want it to remain '2024-05-30' and not '20240530'. I understand that it can be useful in some cases but there are others that this automatic conversion becomes a headache. Thank you! Regards.

I have a close polyline in dwg and some lines inside this polyline. the polyline contains arcs too. with these 2 I create small areas in fme. now the problem: when i create these areas the boundary where the arc part of exterior polyline is different from the boundary of smaller areas. is this a bug in fme? cause it doesn’t make sense to create parts of the same arc that are not colinear with the arc that the part was extracted. or is there a setting that i have to set? ive notice that the arcs has different description in inspector window for the new created areas it says “IFMEArc: Arc By Center Point With Ends” and the other shape it says IFMEArc: Arc By Bulge. example: Pink area was generated and overlaps the exterior boundary (blue line) area. that should not happen

Hi, everyone. I have two datasets. I need to find polygons that do not overlap, even if they have different shapes. I'm using a spatial filter, and I've tried others too, without success. When analyzing the failed ports, some polygons appear as 'NO INTERSECT', but in ArcGIS, it's possible to see that the polygons are overlapping others. I've tested this and I think the intersection analysis in ArcGIS is better than the spatial transformers in FME. How can I perform this validation correctly in FME? I'm worried that my results are not reliable when using FME for detecting overlaps. Could it be that my configuration in the transformers is incorrect? Which transformer or configuration is equivalent to the intersects operation in ArcGIS?
